Weddings

Choosing the music for your wedding ceremony is important. This is a day you will remember forever and the right music helps to create an atmosphere and leaves a lasting impression.

We are able to provide music suitable for all aspects of the ceremony

  • Incidental music before the service
  • The procession of the bride as she walks down the aisle
  • Music during the signing of the register
  • The recessional to play out the bride and groom

A very popular ensemble choice for providing wedding music is a trumpet player (piccolo) and vocal soloist (soprano).  The trumpet player can provide a fanfare to announce the arrival of the bride, and then provide a processional trumpet tune, such as the Prince of Denmark’s March by J. Clarke.  The soprano can sing the first verse of the hymns and provide music during the signing of the register. Popular choices include, Handel’s Let the Bright Seraphim and Eternal Source of Light Divine. The trumpet player then plays music that is triumphant, joyful and celebratory, such as Purcell’s Trumpet Tune to accompany the exit of Husband and Wife.

We are able to provide many options for the wedding including solo trumpet or Soprano but are in the fortunate position of being able to offer the combination of Piccolo trumpet and Soprano as a duet allowing the performance of pieces such as Handel’s Let the Bright Seraphim. We can also offer two Sopranos to perform such well known pieces as the Flower Duet (Lakmé) by Delibes.
